Tardi Beg

Tardi Beg, born Mirza Muhammad Beg Zulfiqar Khan, was a military commander in the 16th century in Mughal Empire.

Beg was part of Humayun's forces when they retreated from India after the siege by Sher Shah.

It is reported that he was disliked by both the troops and generals and was eventually killed for cowardice by Bairam Khan.

Beg was further accused of deserting the city of Agra as soon as Hemu's forces approached.

The truth of these allegations is difficult to gauge as most were written after his death and following the great successes of Bairam Khan, his executor.
